Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good-

$32   

Lodela issue. From the same molds as the detailed 1950s 'S' kit. Ideal builder. Features rotating turrets, elevating guns, optional position crew doors and rotating props. Although from old molds, this builds into a nice model. Never started. Inventoried and NOTE: missing one flat bomb bay door, which is very easily made. Otherwise complete with all other parts present and includes decals and instructions. NOTE: top wing is broken cleanly in half. It fits back together perfectly if you wish to build the kit.

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Fair

$65   

Rare 1957 original 'S' issue with fantastic artwork. Very nicely detailed model includes drop tanks, strap on boosters, base, launcher and crew of two. Molded in the correct gloss red. Never started. Inventoried 100% complete with all parts, decals and instructions present.

There decals are in amazing 'excellent+' condition. The instructions are fine other than the small, closed holes in the instructions from whatever punched the holes in the box.

Revell German Graf Zeppelin Aircraft Carrier, 1/720, 05000

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Sealed Exc

$38   

Still factory 'round tape' sealed and from 1996. This is the only smaller-scale injection molded plastic kit of the 'Flugzeugtrager A' or 'Aircraft Carrier A" and it is a very well molded and highly detailed model from newer Revell of Germany molds. Features 161 pieces, full hull, propeller and rudder detail, primary and secondary anti-aircraft guns, detailed flight deck, one elevator in the 'down' position, Bf-109T and Ju-87T aircraft, lifeboats, detailed island structure and more. Includes decals with markings for the flight deck and the aircraft. This German WWII aircraft carrier has a fascinating history. She was laid down in 1936, and launched in 1938. Raeder pressed for proper fitting out and completion, but ran into continuous and powerful resistance from Goring, who did not like the idea of the Navy having a mobile air-arm. Goring's interference proved conclusive and the ship, which was 95% complete, never entered service. The air wing was to be navalized Bf-109 Fighters and Ju-87 Dive Bombers. Work stopped completely in 1943 as Hitler became frustrated with the Navy. On April 25, 1945, the Germans scuttled the nearly complete carrier at Stettin just before the Russians arrived. What happened next has been unclear for years. It was generally assumed that the ship struck a mine and sank after the Soviets raised her. With the opening of Russian records, this story can be completed. In 1946 the Soviets raised the ship and towed it to Leningrad. There, they hoped to rebuild it and use it for her intended purpose. This proved to be impossible at the time, so in 1947 it was towed to sea and used as an target. In 2006, the wreck was actually located.

Revell German Heavy Cruiser Blucher - (Hipper Class), 1/720, 5049

The WWII Blucher was surprised by Norwegian coastal torpedo batteries and guns from the fortress of Oscarsborg while sailing up the fjord towards Oslo.

SNAP G.I. Soldiers - ex Revell GI Figure Set - (GI Soldiers), 1/40, 5149-100

Plastic Model Kit,   Box Condition: Good++

$110   

Rare model from the original 1950s Revell "S" Issue molds. Very highly detailed and includes the following figures - general, radioman, 2 bazooka men, 2 mortar men with mortar, 2 machine gunners with tripod and machine gun, soldier with mine detector, soldier with flame thrower and 9 other infantrymen. Molded in olive drab plastic. Never started and inventoried complete with all parts and includes instructions. These molds must have had a very interesting history. It is assumed that these were cut by Revell or much more likely one of their contractors in the mid-late 1950s; perhaps they used Adam's mold cutter. On the surface, there is no sign that they were to be parts of the joint Adams/Revell 1/40 line but Adams never issued the kit. However, Adams must have had the molds because when the famous HO model train manufacturer Athearn purchased the Adams molds, they ended up with the Soldiers. Ahtearn used the name SNAP for all plastic kit releases and slightly modified the molds by adding their name & logo to a part (or two) of each kit. This GI Soldier kit is made in the USA. Things get even more interesting with the Life-Like issue. How Life-Like came across the molds is unfortunately unknown but it may have been in a bulk purchase of molds from Athearn since there were in the same general part of the country. This is simply conjecture, however.
